Dactyl Manuform Resin Keyboard

Please read the entire description before purchasing. The ONLY difference between this and the Dactyl Manuform Keyboard is that the top case is resin and it uses M6 screws. Otherwise it is exactly the same.

Comes in different sizing to fit small to large hands. Improved from open source design. Keyboard has 5 rows and 6 columns of keyswitches, similar to a standard keyboard. 

• Hotswappable
• Swap the default keyswitch for another type on your own without soldering.
• Hotswapping isn't perfect, but if you hotswap one switch at a time you shouldn't have any problems.
• Supports MX Cherry, Gateron and similar switches.
• Does NOT support Kailh or low profile switches.
• Swap microcontrollers
• Swap microcontrollers easily. No soldering or desoldering required for swapping microcontrollers. The microcontroller must have pin headers attached onto them. If they do not, it will require soldering the pin headers onto the microcontrollers itself.
  
• Supports nice!nanos.
• Split design
• Ortholinear
• PCB designed in-house
• Design improvements above the original for better reliability
• Well documented user guide

Difference Compared to PLA Version (*Please Read*)

• Top case is 3D printed via SLA in white or black resin.
• Bottom plate is 3D printed in PLA, same as the PLA version. Uses larger M6 screws. As of Sept 1, 2022, M6 screws are black to match the base plate, instead of silver as in the photo above.
• The difference is mostly cosmetic. Internals are same as PLA version.

Specific to This Product (*Please Read*)

• Resin is photosensitive.
• White resin can experience yellowing if left in direct sunlight for a long period of time. Please avoid leaving it outdoors. It's uncertain how long this process takes, but no noticeable yellowing at 1 week for the white resin.
• Black resin should not have yellowing.
